Yeah, but let's be realistic. Go to Microsoft's site for pricing. The Surface starts from about $799, and goes up from there. That's multiple times the cost of the iPad, at the low end for new models can be had for $329 at the Apple site. A huge difference in price. Refurbished models even less, and new boxed items of the previous version still being sold by Apple for $200. The Surface Book starts at $1499. The Surface Studio starts at $2999. These are starting prices! A buyer would be paying much more for a configuration that is worthwhile!
The iPad, in various configurations is cheaper, much much cheaper in cost than the Surface, which is definitely a luxury tech piece. That we do agree on.
“Yeah, but let’s be realistic. Go to Microsoft’s site for pricing.”
Yeah, but let’s be realistic and look at the what the street prices are.
iPad pro for $699 for 128gb. Add pen and keyboard and you are over $900.
$999 for the surface 4 package including keyboard and a better pen gets you a larger screen and twice the performance!

On Amazon the surface pro 4 starts at 688. Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is 428. With a surface you’re getting a bigger screen with higher resolution and fully functional windows OS. I really like mine.
“The Surface Book starts at $1499.”
Actually it is $1299. And it competes with the MacBook Pro 13 Laptop at $1499.
And does the MacBook Pro display detach from the keyboard?
